  2. Independent suspension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independent_suspension

    A multi-link type rear independent suspension on an AWD car. The anti-roll bar has some yellow paint on it. Independent suspension is any automobile suspension system that allows each wheel on the same axle to move vertically (i.e. reacting to a bump on the road) independently of the others.

  3. Unsprung mass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unsprung_mass

    Unsprung mass is a consideration in the design of a vehicle's suspension and the materials chosen for its components. Beam axle suspensions, in which wheels on opposite sides are connected as a rigid unit, generally have greater unsprung mass than independent suspension systems, in which the wheels are suspended and allowed to move separately.

  4. Beam axle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beam_axle

    This is an example of a "dead axle". A "live axle" not only connects two wheels, but also drives them. A beam axle, rigid axle, or solid axle is a dependent suspension design in which a set of wheels is connected laterally by a single beam or shaft. Beam axles were once commonly used at the rear wheels of a vehicle, but historically, they have ...

  5. Axle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axle

    Conversely, many front-wheel drive cars have a one-piece rear beam axle. In other types of suspension systems, the axles serve only to transmit driving torque to the wheels: the position and angle of the wheel hubs is made independent from the axles by the function of the suspension system. This is typical of the independent suspensions found ...

  6. Car suspension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Car_suspension

    Suspension is the system of tires, tire air, springs, shock absorbers and linkages that connects a vehicle to its wheels and allows relative motion between the two. [1] Suspension systems must support both road holding/handling and ride quality, [2] which are at odds with each other. The tuning of suspensions involves finding the right compromise.

  7. Multi-link suspension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-link_suspension

    A multi-link suspension is a type of independent vehicle suspension having three or more control links per wheel. [1] These arms do not have to be of equal length, and may be angled away from their "obvious" direction. It was first introduced in the late 1960s on the Mercedes-Benz C111 [2] and later on their W201 and W124 series. [3] [4]

  8. Swing axle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swing_axle

    A swing axle is a simple type of independent suspension designed and patented by Edmund Rumpler in 1903 for the rear axle of rear wheel drive vehicles. This was a revolutionary invention in automotive suspension, allowing driven (powered) wheels to follow uneven road surfaces independently, thus enabling the vehicle's wheels to maintain better ...

  9. De Dion suspension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_dion_suspension

    De Dion suspension characteristics: Camber change on one-sided bumps, none on rebound. The de Dion tube is shown in blue. The differential (yellow) is connected directly to the chassis (orange). Universal joints are shown in green. De Dion rear axle. A de Dion axle is a form of non-independent automobile suspension.
